Title: Kirin Quest
Post by: Sonae on September 21, 2011, 12:44:13 AM
Fire.
Flames danced about crackling in sinister laughter. Devouring the town, slowly turning everything to ash. This situation, this disaster, it could be described with one word alone.
Chaos.

A girl sits on the ground, without even seeing her tear streaked face, you know she?s crying. In front of the girl, there is a body.
It?s a small child. Her eyes are empty and lifeless. Blood leaks from her still body. The debris of a house lie on the child?s weak and fragile body, likely having crushed all the bones in her body. The flames slowly creep closer, licking the child?s corpse.
The crying girl swats at the flames, making them move back for only a second. You can hear her voice as it resounds in this death cage of fire. However, you can?t make out her words too well. You strain to hear, trying to drown out the crackling roars of fire, the constant snapping of wood, and the sniffling cries from the girl before you.
?Why!..why did this?have to?? She begins to cough slightly. ?Have to?happen like?this? She starts to gasp for air. You try to move forward to help her, but you?re body wont move.
?Damn it! Why can?t I do anything for her?! You shout at yourself pointlessly.
Then you notice it.
?Oh, so I can?t help her, because that?s?
Everything goes dark.

------------

>You slowly open your eyes and gaze around.
>Your vision is hazy but it eventually clears.
>But it?s dark in here so you can?t see much anyways?
>However, you do see a faint light coming from somewhere?
>Your mind is a little foggy, but you focus and clear it.

((Hm~ I was expecting to ask who it is but i guess that'll come~))

>You shake you head. The swift motion dizzies you for a moment, but it fades and everything sharpens.
>You gaze around at the dimly lit...place...you're not familiar with this location
>You slowly move your limbs. They slowly creek and crack with each movement. Huh...you're unusually stiff it seems...

---

>Who am I...? You think to yourself. Sa...Ki..Rin... you frown at your mind's unwillingness to move. Then it hits you (luckily only in a figuravity way...)
>You're Satsuki Rin! A Kirin who works as a nurse!
>Girl? You think long and hard, but you don't get any results. Like a search that turns up blank.
>Huh...Strange...You don't remeber you're memory being this bad...Then again, you can't remember if it was any good either...
>You look more closely at your location. It looks sorta like a cave or something, but more house-like, complete with it's own bathroom!
>You do various tests to check your well-being. You're a nurse after all! You're body feels a little heavy and a little sore. Not to mention stiff...
Relationships
>You rack your brain for knowledge of others. But you get nothing. You don't recall ever being a hermit...your body also proves this.
Quests
>Where Am I? The first thing I should do is find out where I am and how I got here...
>What happened to me? and Why can't I Remember it?
Inventory
>You seem to be laying on some sort of bed with only a blanket cover- WAIT A MINUTE WHAT?!
>You pull the covers off and look down at your naked body
>You let out a sigh of relief to see that your panties are untouched. The same can't be said for your bra though.
>Your chest and stomach are wrapped in bandages. Wait bandages?
>You decide against removing them for fear of bleeding to death before someone found you.
>Considering you don;t even have your clothes on you, you likely don't have anything else on you.
---
>You look around to see if you can spot anyone.
>Sadly there are no lolis in sight
>However you do spot a shadow flickering on the floor. Hm...Seems like the shadow of a man...

>You pat your chest lightly. Hm, it seems smaller without all your clothes on. PADS
>Maybe if you check when you get your clothes on it'll seem different.
>But you're a youkai after, and Youkai don't develop physically all that fast. Sometimes they just stop growing all together.
>Does not compute
>After a moment, you reluctantly call out to the shadow.
>"Hello? Is someone there?"
>You can hear your voice echo slightly.
>The shadow moves slightly. You hear the faint sound of footsteps approaching. A uneasy feeling hangs over your mind.

>Your face goes bright red and your expression is colored with anger. TSUNDEREMODOACTIVATE
>You think of possible ways to retaliate. You could try to get up and kick him. But it doesn't seem like your body will cooperate.
>You shake your head to get rid of these violent thoughts of yours. Since when were you so violent? Aren't you supposed to be a nurse?
>You inhale and think calmly. He might not be a pervert. He could have just bandaged your wounds so you wouldn't die or attract animals. I doubt you'd want to wake up to some birds picking apart your organs now...
>Also, if you provoke him to attack, you might not last much longer. Even if you're a youkai, you're wounded, and your limbs are stiff. You wouldn't stand a chance in the condition you're in.
>You quickly look for something to cover yourself with. Ignoring the blanket, there's nothing you can use to hide your almost nude body.

>You watch as the shadow moves closer, eventually blocking out the light from the fire. The sound of the footsteps draw closer.
>A man comes around the corner.
>"Ah you're finally awake" He says gently.
>He approaches, his features more discernable.
>He's young, maybe in his 30s or so. His hair is short an black, and his face, while masculine, looks very friendly. He smiles warmly at you.

>After a few minutes, the man returns with two cups of tea. He sets the tray they are on down on the ground beside your makeshift bed.
>He sits down besde the tray and hands you your tea.
>He picks his own up and takes a sip "Hah..." He turns his attention to you.
>You take your chance and ask your questions.
>"This place is a cave in the distant mountains. I've come here for training" He says.
>He smiles, "Ah, my name is Kazuo, I apologize for not introducing myself first thing" He says with a weak laugh. "What's your name?"

>"I found you outside of Makai, you were unconscious and injured, so I brought you here and took care of your wounds"

>"Ah is that so?" He laughs a little. "I'm no doctor, I only can do the basics" He says with a smile as he scratches his head.
>He looks confused for a moment, then looks at Rin's body. He averts his eyes and blushes. "Nah, I had to remove your clothes, I'm sorry about that..."
>"Your clothes were wet with blood, but I washed it out for you" He says as he points to the bathroom. "They're in there when you're ready to change"
>You search your mind for 'Makai'
>You think you've heard the name before, but nothing concrete comes to mind.
>You ask Kazuo what Makai is
>"Makai is the Demon World. I'm not too familiar with the inside of it either, but I've meet Sara and Luize" He says, finishing off his cup of tea.

>You do not.
>"Ah, figures if you didn't know of Makai you wouldn't have heard of them" Kazuo laughs weakly at his slip.
>"Sara is the Guardian of Makai's entrance. She's kinda fiesty, but through my training I know her" He says, putting his cup back on the tray. "As for Luize, she's a resident of Makai. She visits every once and a while, she's kind, despite her suspicious looks"
>Kazuo goes into a daze for a moment. He picks up his cup and tries to take a sip, only to realize it's empty.
>"Ah. I'll be right back, I'm going to get some more tea. You can go change if you want" Kazuo begins to leave but stops and turns back to you. "Oh, did you want another cup of tea?" He asks before heading off to make more.
Title: Re: Kirin Quest
Post by: Kasu on September 22, 2011, 12:46:43 AM

>After Kazuo vanishes around the corner, you dash for the bathroom. Hm, your body seems to have fixed up quite a bit. Maybe it was the tea.
>You close the door and get dressed into your usual attire (http://safebooru.org//images/108/e175cd223b5b513b750ea899d426506ff77be5d5.png)
>Wait, where's your Erhu? It's not with your clothes.
>After a few minutes you come out of the bathroom. Kazuo is sitting there sipping his tea, unaware you've returned at the moment.

>There lies your Erhu, undamaged.

Post by: Sonae on September 22, 2011, 11:48:40 AM
>"Okay, I'll be right back" Kazuo says as he departs for the kitchen.
>You make yourself comfy on the bed and gaze around. You spot some scrolls and newspapers in one corner of the room. In another you see some miscellaneous items, such as charms, talismans, and sutras. The place is dim and not decorated well, but you assume that's to be excepted of a cave.
>Considering you just dashed into the bathroom to change, you likely can get up off the bed.
>After a bit Kazuo returns with a plate of cookies.
>"Here you go" He says with a smile as he sets the platter down beside the tea.
>"So where are you from?" He asks politely.

>"I'm from a town called Anan" You answer as you pick up a cookie and munch on it.
>Kazuo looks confused. "Anan? Where's that?" He asked.
>You stop eating your cookie and look at him. "It's in Nagano Prefecture" You answer slowly.
>Kazuo still looks confused. Maybe he's never heard of it. Wait, how is that possible? You're still in Japan right?

>"I guess this means I need to take you to the village" He says as he stands up. He stops and thinks for a moment. "Hm, maybe we'll visit Sara first..."
>He grabs a few things and gets ready to head out. He turns to you. "You ready to go?"

>As you two exit the cave, you're eyes are assaulted by the bright sun.
>You cover your eyes till they adjust and follow Kazuo up a slender path around the mountain Wait was the village up here?
>As you look out over the landscape you see many trees. Way too many to count. It's a sea of deep green.
>As you move your gaze over slightly, you're vision is drawn to a large majestic looking mountain in the distance. It's huge! Even larger than Mount Fuji! Would Kazuo know about it?

>Something flashes in your mind.
>Memories of the long past times.

---

You can feel a cool breeze blowing against your face.
You slowly open your eyes and gaze out at the vast scenery.
The mountains and valleys are painted green with the coming of summer.
The blue sky is reflected off the water beautifully.
In the distance you can see a large field of yellow.
You inhale deeply. The fresh air is sucked into your lungs, then the byproduct expelled.
You look down at the village.
A peaceful place.
A world of Humans.

>You're brought out of your daze by Kazuo, who is shaking you.
>"Ah, thank god you're okay" He says with a sigh of relief. "I thought you were going to pass out again there..."
>After regaining his composure, he looks at you and smiles.
>"The entrance to Makai is just a little further" With that he turns and starts heading up the path. You don't get a chance to tell him about what you saw.

>Home.
>You breathe the word silently.
>Kazuo doesn't take notice and the two of you continue up the trail.

>After a few minutes a large cave comes into view. You gaze into the darkness of the maw. You feel something strange. That cave...it's no ordinary cave...

>"Sara! Good Morning!"
>The woman reacts and turns her gaze in your direction. She hasn't noticed you yet though, as you are behind Kazuo.
>"Ah it's Kazuo" She says dully.
>Kazuo runs over to her to begin chatting with her, You approach slowly.

>Soon enough Kazuo is right beside her. He's smiling happily.
>"How have you been Sara? Are things going well?" He asks her.
>Sara doesn't change her expression too much. Her arms are folded infront of her and she's leaning against the wall. Content would be the best word to describe her right now.
>"I've been fine. Same old same old." She says somewhat bluntly.
>"The residents are behaving I take it?"
>"Eh, more or less. There hasn't really been any issues since last spring"
>"That's good" Kazuo says with a smile. You're now just a little ways away from the two. Kazuo turns his gaze to you.
>"Hey Sara, I brought someone along with me today" Kazuo says cheerfully.
>Sara blinks and turns her gaze towards you.
>"I found her passed out near here so I took her in and treated her wounds"
>You shift slightly and look at Sara.
>"It's nice to meet you miss Sara" You say softly with a bow.
>However it doesn't seem Sara greets you just as kindly.
>She moves into a pose that suggests shes ready to fight. She's glaring at you and clenching her teeth. Well, this didn't go quite as smoothly as you'd hoped for.

>You wonder what you are for a moment, but your mind seems fuzzy, and you speak instinctively.
>"...I-I'm h-human..." you say weakly. You're so unsure of your answer you can't even look at her.
>"Don't lie to me!" Sara shouts at you, making you step back in fear. "I know you're a youkai...I can sense it...So don't think you can fool me!"
>You feel like running away, but your body is frozen in place. It seems you've got one last chance before she dashes at you. My species...? The title of this quest

>"Stop!" Kazuo shouts.
>Sara blinks and turns her eyes towards him, a suprised look plastered on her face.
>"Sara what's gotten into you!?"
>"Uh...I jus-" She spoke slowly, like a child that was being scolded.
>"Don't make excuses! She didn't do anything wrong to you" He said firmly.
>Sara was silent for a minute. "But I...you...she-"
>Kazuo's gaze silenced the demon gatekeeper, who lowered her head in response.
>A painful silence hung over the three.
Speak?
-Yes.

>"Ah- Rin it's not your fault, You don't have to apologize" Kazuo says gently. He's cut off by Sara.
>"S-same...I was j-just worried about K-Kazuo..." She stutters, averting her eyes and shifting in place. Her face slowly turns red. "D-don't take it p-personally..." She mutters.
>Kazuo sighs under his breath then smiles. "Well as long as you two wont fight it doesn't matter" He walks over to Sara, placing a hand on her head and ruffling her hair slightly.
>Sara lowers her gaze, her face is redder than before.
> "Anyways..." Kazuo says, turning to you. "We should get going if we want to reach the village before nightfall"
>Sara looks up at the mention of the village. "Y-you're going there? I thought..."

>"Oh you know, just the usual. I thought I'd check up on the shrine maiden while I was out and about" Aya says, her gaze slowly shifting to you. "But I never thought that shrine maiden would be making friends with youkai" She says, exaggerating her words with a slight mocking tone.

Hm :\
I think I might close this.
There seems to be a lack of motivation on my end, and interest on the participant field end.
Maybe Rin was just a bad character to choose for this. While she can have good story value, she's not a very flexible or spontaneous character. Also, she's more meant to be a healer than a fighter, so that has it's obvious downsides.
Also I have no idea where to really go atm with this.
My memory is foggy, but the main plot of this Quest was for Rin to work towards discovering her past.
Hmmm, What do you think I should do?
I imagine if you really want to get to the end, I could try and push myself a bit harder to think of things to happen.

Well, I can keep posting commands as I would like to see where this goes.  That's just me though and it can't be helped if you lack the motivation to continue. 

In the end, it's really only your choice to make.
